PCDLRN ActiveX DLL > PartProgram Object : SetupFeatureBasedMeasurement Method

Glossary Item Box

# Description

This method calls a text file as a string. The XML content in the text file defines the features or dimensions you want to use for feature based measurement. Based on the contents of the XML, PC-DMIS can marks those commands, and any dependent commands.

# Syntax

Visual Basic
    Public Sub SetupFeatureBasedMeasurement( _
       ByVal FileName As String _
    )

# Parameters

FileName
  Full pathway to the text file with the XML content.

# Example

Suppose you a text file named ImportFBM.txt, the text file resides in side of your in a d:\temp\ folder, and it contains this XML content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!--PC-DMIS XML Output File-->

<FeatureBasedMeasurement>

<Feature ID="CIR1" Marked="True" MarkDependencies="True" UID="57" />

<Feature ID="PNT2" Marked="True" MarkDependencies="True" UID="93" />

<Dimension ID="LOC1" Marked="True" MarkDependencies="True" UID="169" />

<Dimension ID="LOC2" Marked="True" MarkDependencies="True" UID="268" />

<GroupStart ID="GRP3" Marked="True" />

</FeatureBasedMeasurement>

The example script below reads that XML content. It marks those features and dimensions, and it marks any other dependent commands.
